This clue might be a double definition.

'wild creatures' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'rushes?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'in the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
